Package: petsc-dev
Version: 3.0.0.dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Hello,

there is a problem with petsc-dev that is making all packages
build-depending on it FTBFS on several architectures.

petsc-dev is an arch:all package that depends on libpetsc3.0.0-dev.
However, as you are undoubtedly aware, libpetsc3.0.0-dev is not available
on all architectures, and in many of them only libpetsc3.0.0-lam-dev is.

The libpetsc3.0.0-lam-dev package Provides: petsc3.0.0-dev, but this is
not enough to make petsc-dev installable on those architectures, hence
rendering reverse build-dependencies unbuildable.

Please make libpetsc3.0.0-lam-dev Provide: libpetsc3.0.0-dev, or
(preferable IMHO) make petsc-dev an arch:any package that Depends: on
libpetsc3.0.0-dev or libpetsc3.0.0-lam-dev as appropriate.

Thanks,
